1. What are the different ways tectonic plates move in relation to each other?

2. What landforms could be the result of converging plates? name a location where this occurs.

3. What landforms could be the result of diverging plates? Name a location where this occurs.

4. What major event could occur as the result of transforming plates? Name a location where this can occur.

5. if crust is constantly created at divergent boundaries, why isn't Earth getting larger?

Answer + Explanation:

1. The different ways tectonic plates move in relation to each other are:

        convergent (where plates move into one another)  

        divergent (where plates move apart)

        transform (where plates move sideways in relation to each other)

2. Convergent plate boundaries can result in:

       earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation of mountains.

The Himalaya Mountains are the result of convergent plate boundaries.

3. Landforms that are a result of divergent boundaries are rift valleys and mid-oceanic ridges.

        Locations where this occurs are:  Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Red Sea Rift, Baikal Rift Zone

, East African Rift, East Pacific Rise,  Gakkel Ridge, Galapagos Rise, and Explorer Ridge.

4. Transforming plate boundaries results in shallow earthquakes, large lateral displacement of rock, and a broad zone of crustal deformation.

  A location where this occurs is: San Andreas Fault in western California

sorry that's all I can help you with today :/ if I have more time I'll answer the other questions!! If I helped you please don't forget to mark me brainliest!!
